At the epicenter of this tale is the pustulent and rather dim Elijah Cummings

from my current state of residence. Cummings is your typical product of the Maryland Democrat machine. The reek of corruption is always near him but never quite attaches to him because he is, as I said, the product of the Maryland Democrat machine and therefore bulletproof. Now all of that may be getting ready to change.
In late May, the National Legal and Policy Center filed an IRS
...the Internal Revenue Service; that office of the United States government that collects taxes and persecutes the regime's political enemies...
complaint against Maya Rockeymoore Cummings, who is the wife of Elijah Cummings.
The Complaint describes a score of apparent Internal Revenue Code violations, including prohibited private benefit and inurement of the Cummings. CGPS has received millions in grants from the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation and, in late 2017, was granted a million-dollar contract from the General Services Administration. The funds were purportedly provided to fight childhood obesity. The Complaint asks the IRS to investigate whether "its organizers are getting fat off the grants."
At the same time she heads CGPS, Mrs. Cummings heads a for-profit consulting firm called Global Policy Solutions, LLC, whose operations appear to have been indistinguishable from those of CGPS. The two entities have shared office space, telephones, etc., all of which are flagrant violations of the Internal Revenue Code.
With a Republican, the Washington Post would have been all over this, in this case, the Post sent out a stenographer to take down the denial:
"It appears a conservative front group and a news outlet . . . are pushing a hit piece filled with faulty research, lies and innuendo in an attempt to tarnish my personal reputation, professional work and public service as well as that of my spouse," Rockeymoore Cummings said in a statement, calling the effort a "distasteful attempt to intimidate my family into silence at such a pivotal moment in our nation’s history."
She declined to answer follow-up questions about her nonprofit’s work, donors and contracts.
